HTTP Client - Secret Weapon for Web Service Testing

What if there was a way to test web services without writing lots of code? How about a simple text that repeats HTTP protocol interaction? Well, we have some news for you, we have a special tool just for that: HTTP Client, which is bundled with JetBrains IDEs.

Recently, many new features were added to the HTTP Client plugin. In this webinar, we will cover not only basic functionality, but also streaming, file downloading, and gRPC. We will go through them all one by one!

Thank you for a great demo! Even your cat was excited to hear some tips :D

Yuriy: describes how to create a user using HTTP POST method
Cat: MEOW! MEOW! MEOW!

Good job and one idea. Jmetter has a lot of test functionality which could be implemented in that client.

Great demo and such a powerful tool. I wish someone could answer the one most popular question about a CLI for CI/CD. It guess it's a taboo question as not answered in the demo or the issues.
It's mostly the only reason preventing using it. Many other team members are using VSC or Eclispe so they can't run these. Would be also nice to re use in the CI/CD pipelines.

Hi, Thanks for sharing. I have a question, is it support for running loops with different boday file? just like import a csv file as postman did?

[Romigo]

Hello there! Great demo, thank you! But what about sending grapqh queries or mutations ? With authentication with an option

[robertn]

Thank you for a great demo! How can I check / test the response body content?

Hi, Thanks for sharing. I have a question, is posile write headers to separete file and include like request body? I have lot header what repeat in evry request and most header have static value.

Great demo. Just one question how does the port number appear beside the running application in Service window ?

[jitensi]

Is there support for passing certificate info or authentication. My work place uses jks or pfx file for authentication.

[basheeral-momani]

31:23 what If I want to extract it from previous request and set in in the HTTP client env variables, can I do that?

how to run same api multiple times within .http file in an automated way. based on some field received in response. For let's say any status api that we need to call multiple times to recieve one status.

[igorslepko]

в тестах после проверки как я понял идет сообщение не описывающее тест, а описывающее поведение, если тест провалился. т.е в случае, когда мы проверяли на 500 ошибку, после теста надо писать сообщение не Result is server error, а причину, по которой тест провалился: "Status is not 500" . ТОже самое для проверки на 200х сотый код - не Result is OK, а "Result is not OK"

Can you share the repository to the example code

[farhadyousefi]

would you please share the source as well, thanks
